Event Summary
The emergence of blockchain technology spurred substantial advantages across various industries. However, as it continues to gain momentum, antitrust authorities have noted several risk issues that it may bring, including its potential to enable collusion or exclude competition. These concerns have prompted the Department of Justice (DOJ) Antitrust Division to begin scrutinizing blockchain-based partnerships.
To avoid legal pitfalls, companies engaged in blockchain must revisit their existing practices and ensure that they are compliant with relevant antitrust laws. They must also follow emerging developments in this field of law to avoid further risks and costly fines.
In this LIVE Webcast, the distinguished speakers and key thought leaders Melanie M. Kiser (Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider LLP) and Susannah P. Torpey (Winston & Strawn LLP) organized by The Knowledge Group will provide a comprehensive discussion of the recent antitrust developments in blockchain technology. They will also cite critical issues and offer best practices to help companies mitigate legal pitfalls while maximizing the potentials of blockchain technology.
Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:
• Antitrust Enforcement in Blockchain Technology: Trends and Statistics
• Current and Emerging Updates in Antitrust Regulation
• Common Red Flags and Issues
• Best Compliance Strategies
